The Caribbean at Quinta do Bom Vento (QBV) is an open plan studio for 2 guests with private en suite bathroom, double bed, full gourmet kitchen, sunken lounge and deck with BBQ, overlooking the peaceful valley. QBV is a converted small holding perched on its own 4 acre wooded valley in a tiny hamlet yet just 8km from the buzz of beautiful Obidos. There are only 5 separate accommodations at QBV so perfect for a couple or friends or a family reunion travelling together who want to be together but also have their own private space. The Caribbean was originally the stables and home to a donkey and turkeys but with 35sqm you won't feel cooped up in this complete high spec renovation. It has been fully converted to give you everything you need for your holiday - the bathroom features a custom walk in shower, the kitchen has full oven, gas hob, microwave, Dolce Gusto coffee machine, toaster, kettle and a range of gourmet tools to conjure up something with the figs that you can actually pick from leaning over on your own elevated sun deck. The sunken lounge is reached down stone steps and has a flat screen TV with main UK channels and the double doors open to the deck and valley beyond. The double bed has been inset under a large sleeper beam to providing a cozy comfortable and unique sleeping arrangement with starry sky lights above, however it has been designed that you can easily pull the bed out if you prefer. Although very peaceful we feel QBV is ideally suited being less than 8km from both Obidos and Buddha Eden - the largest oriental garden in Europe. A variety of beaches can be reached within 25 mins including the lagoon at Foz do A'relho or the world class surf beaches at Peniche or Baleal. Lisbon is under an hour away and can be easily reached by bus or Sintra is only 1 hr 20 mins away so we feel we are ideally situated for you to have a very cosy, classy and comfortable home away from home base to relax in after exploring the delights of the Silver Coast and beyond.

Knowing how frustrating it can be renting rural properties and arriving to an empty fridge and cupboards, we provide an extensive starter pack including milk, butter, cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit, tea, coffee, wine and beer along with essentials such as washing up liquid, paper towels, oils and vinegars. etc. Recognising the ever restrictive luggage allowances on flights we also provide toiletries and beach towels.

About Quinta do Bom Vento (QBV)

After living and working on sailboats for the last 16 years, we are delighted to weigh anchor and become landlubbers in Portugal. Latterly we were working as Captain and Chef/mate providing charters to the rich and famous on luxury yachts and consequently we feel we have an innate sense of when guests require privacy or companionship. We feel this hospitality background permeates all the individual touches you will find at Quinta do Bom Vento.

Quinta do Bom Vento (QBV) purchased this Apartment in 2005

Why Quinta do Bom Vento (QBV) chose Municipality of Obidos

After living on the restricted space aboard boats we embraced the privacy yet space the 4 ½ acre valley at Quinta do Bom Vento provides. Although we enjoyed our time afloat and sea horizons we find the bucolic valley vistas equally mesmerizing. We love the fact that all the outbuildings at the Quinta each have their own orientation thus providing private spaces for each accommodation.

What makes this Apartment unique

All the feedback we are receiving shows that guests appreciate the proximity to the delights of Portugal but are equally delighted returning to such comfortable and well equipped accommodations. Each room is individually decorated and we have treated them as extensions of our home rather than rental properties. We feel honoured by every booking and genuinely look forward to meeting our guests.

What a fantastic place to stay. Accommendations are spotlessly clean, well appointed with no detail left unturned. We stayed a week with so many wonderful sights in Portugal near by. We rented a car and had no problem navigating the roadways with Google maps. Our hosts, Rich and Sam Malone were very helping with suggestions on where to go and what to see. Would return in a heartbeat. Don’t miss staying here. If your looking for a quiet place to stay you’ve got it here. Shopping, restaurants and bars are quick 10 minute drive away.

This a wonderful place to stay, almost don't want to share it! From the moment we arrived the hosts made us feel at home more like visiting friends than renting an apartment. The Adriatic a studio apartment was perfect for our needs, very well appointed with a lovely view from our terrace. The welcome pack of goodies was very generous and exciting to review. There is loads to see in the area both beaches, country, culture and pretty towns and villages. Buddha-Eden is close by and well worth a visit we would recommend one of the five apartments at QBV to anyone we had a fantastic time there.

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family by Rich and Sam. The apartment was decorated to a very high standard with everything you needed and more. We had a barbecue on the terrace and spent many evenings enjoying the amazing views with a glass of wine. A car is needed but Obidos, Caldas and many other attractions including a choice good restaurants are just a short drive away. Also some good beaches only about 30 mins drive. Rich and Sam were really knowledgable about the area and offered many suggestions for day trips. I would certainly recommend QBV and am planning our next trip there this year.

Map

Municipality of Obidos, Leiria, Portugal

We are equidistant from 2 of Portugal's top 'attractions' - the medieval walled town of Obidos features in the must see category of every tourist guide Buddha Eden is a new incredible gem, only 8km from QBV and is described as Europe's largest Oriental garden. With a variety of beaches within 25 minutes and Lisbon itself less than an hour away, we feel QBV is the perfect base for exploring the delights of the Silver Coast and beyond.
